OECD Regions at a Glance 2016

OECD Regions at a Glance shows how regions and cities contribute to national
economic growth and well-being. This edition updates more than 40 region-by-region
indicators to assess disparities within countries and their evolution over the past
15 years. The report covers all the OECD member countries and, where data are available,
Brazil, People’s Republic of China, Colombia, India, Latvia, Lithuania, Peru, the
Russian Federation and South Africa.
New to this edition:
- A comprehensive picture of well-being in the 391 OECD regions based on 11 aspects
that shape people's lives: income, jobs, housing, education, health, environment,
safety, civic engagement and governance, access to services, social connections, and
life satisfaction.
- Recent trends in subnational government finances and indicators on how competencies
are allocated and co-ordinated across levels of governments.
